none of this matters

After much frustration and headbanging, our university’s LUG (Linux Users Group) got our university’s wifi working on Linux!

For a long time, we were able to authenticate our accounts in its Radius server using wpa_supplicant but just could not get the DHCP to release an IP to either dhclient or dhcpcd.

Well finally Roberto tried some instructions to update the ipw2200 drivers we use and the IEEE8021x drivers, as well as the firmware for our Centrino IPW2200 chipset.

Low and behold, I am typing this from my university’s wifi! This is so cool! Now we will just properly document the steps and all and perhaps modify the python GT-Wifi script we use in Ubuntu to support loading in through wpa_supplicant.

Either way, this kicks ass and just made my weekend.

sshhhh its a secret

I just recently put together a little script that will check an email address for incoming MMS (picture messages) and post them to a vBulletin thread. It is based off the work of a great script by Adrian Heydecker (http://wavestyle.ch) that h
e made for the Wordpress blog.

I hacked it up for vBulletin. It is VERY primitive since I did not have enough time to make the MMS posts go through VB’s proper posting/replying procedure. So it does just a plain old mysql_query() that does and “INSERT” into the vb table that contains posts! Hah!

So please if someone knows the internal workings of VB (I don’t have time to look through the code) then please update this script to make it proper.
As a result, post-count and all that good stuff will not increase from MMS-posting; sorry!

Well I hope you enjoy anyway! The source can be found here: http://blog.nemik.net/wp-filez/mms-mail.phps

I love this, thank you Engadget for the laugh of the day!

Well I’ve decided to go back to the basics: PHP and MySQL.

Ruby on Rails was just too confusing for me and I wasn’t prepared to learn an entirely new language + framework to do the same things I can already do much easier in PHP.

Sorry RoR, there are a lot of cool things in there, but the framework just feel so limiting to me.

Hopefully with this blog I’ll post more and customize it to something more than this default theme!
